    There was a referendum to tax the rich in Illinois and it fucking failed, by a lot. We don’t live in a liberal country. We live in a center-right country with strong far right tendencies.

            It’s clearly too much for you to handle.

          Can we pump up the bullying just enough for the americans to finally start using words they way the don’t completely contradict their actual globally-acknowledged meaning?

            Euros use it the same way, liberals have always obscured the specificity of liberalism.

              Sounds more like you are obscured more than others.

        Big L Liberal, if it has to be specified. I’m speaking from an amerocentric perspective. Not talking about liberalism the philosophical concept.

          It should be specified, because your use here matches neither of those.
